I started the thread so I’ll go first…
Here’s a vintage long rifle rebuild I did. When I got it it was beat up and grimy, someone had etched their name into the barrel, you couldn’t even tell what kind of wood it was.
Defarbed the name from the barrel and reblued, reshaped the stock from block to thinner more elegant lines, redid all the inletting, sanded sanded sanded down to 1000 grit, and did 6 or 7 coats of TruOil.
Turned out to be beautiful birds eye and burl maple
The rifle is so long that it can be hard to hold steady for more than a little bit. Made the antler shooting stick to help with that. Breaks down into three pieces for storage and has a patch knife attached at the joint.
Most recent, made some accoutrements to go with my flintlocks, tools, antler pan primer, small horn pan primer, and a large powder horn. Just finished the powder horn in the bottom pic the other day. First try, could be better could be worse, photo looks better than it is.
Amazing before and after. Nice work!
She’s a beauty! Nice work Sudsy!
Very nice
No one else has made anything ?
I have this fear of blowing my hand off with one of these.
Same thing holds with Hi Point handguns.
It’s far more of a challenge to blow one of these up then it is to blow up a cartridge gun with a bad reload
That is very cool !!
I’d really like to see a thread on how you did it !
